Abstract
All over the world, education in nomadic conditions seems to be the most difficult and is a priority in the process of sustainable development of the Arctic. Previous experience shows that for many decades the growing generation of indigenous peoples of Russia, receiving basic general education (in boarding schools), was forced to break away from the “parental home”, the traditional way of life of their family and close relatives, from the “living” national traditions nomads preserved in natural conditions, which caused an irreparable damage to the unique form of life of indigenous small-numbered peoples; spiritual, moral and family values, traditions of ecological, labor and physical education transmitted by the methods of ethnopedagogy were deformed. At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, nomadic groups and schools were opened in order to implement the nomadic education of children in the places of their traditional residence. However, achieving the quality of education for children has always been problematic due to objective reasons. In the modern conditions, issues of education, health care, culture in the complex have received a new impetus in connection with the adoption of the Strategy for the Development of the Arctic Zzone of the Russian Federation and ensuring national security for the period until 2035. Proceeding from the set strategic tasks for the development of the territories inhabited by the indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of Russia, the problems of the nomadic education of children for this period are more urgent than ever. The measures taken to improve the quality of nomadic education require the development of new mechanisms: ensuring the continuity of education in the nomadic way of life, modern resource support; involvement in the educational process of all stakeholders, the introduction of innovative technologies in the educational process, etc. These issues were discussed at the interregional meetings (round tables, March-April 2021) on the online platform of the branch of the Federal Institute of Native Languages of the Peoples of the Russian Federation in the city of Yakutsk, the purpose and objectives of which were to actualize the problems of nomadic education: the existing experience, difficulties and prospects for the development of regions in organizing the education of children of indigenous peoples; in determining the expected outcomes of nomadic education. The article is of a mixed type - a review-report, compiled on the basis of a review of the speeches of the participants in these events using the methods of interviews, video recording, analysis, systematization, structuring, and generalization. Since the experience and problems of nomadic education, coming directly “from the mouth” of the organizers themselves, are rarely reflected in publications, the materials of the article-message can be interesting and have academic and practical value for researchers dealing with this problem, as well as for leaders of the educational system, public organizations indigenous small-numbered peoples of Russia.
